Not sure if anyone here has been following the career of Michigan prog metal outfit Imminent Sonic Destruction (formerly known as mellotrön_ prior to a nasty cease and desist letter). Many of you will know the band's drummer Pat DeLeon from Tiles. The band's third album, The Sun Will Always Set drops tomorrow and I would describe it as brutally gorgeous. For me it's the band's best work to date. There are hints of Meshuggah, Tool, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Genesis, and others, but they kind of take all the ingredients from their influences and make them their own.
I spoke with band founder/vocalist/guitarist Tony Piccoli about the album.
You can read my verbose review here.
The podcast version includes some short snippets of the songs to give you a taste.
And here's my full interview video with Tony:
